Sorry, here at Toys R Us, we have 75 D2K developers. We found that the only way to get good performance from the product was to install it on each PC. Yes, its a HUGE hassle and a big resource hog. Even more problematic is installing the D2K runtime software on the 1000's of clients running our applications. Thats a HUGE plus for moving to intranet development technologies and using a browser. This is the direction we are headed in.
